BEWARE! This place is terrible. Check their Google Reviews here: https://plus.google.com/108358604207834570000/about?hl=en They have SO many bad reviews it's crazy. This place uses CHEAP wire, CHEAP parts, CHEAP equipment, and will not cover you when the parts fail. They will just try to up-sell you in order to get more money out of you! I took my truck here and the stereo kept failing. They tried to blame me for it! I was sold a different stereo/amp and those started failing too! I then took my truck to a different shop (a far more professional one), and they had to rewire the entire thing! They said the wires these guys used was absolute junk. And get this, the new place (in Temecula) told me that they have at least 1-3 people per week coming into their shop to re-do the crappy job that "Car Stereo & Installs" did in Fallbrook. They also told me that they know this "Nado" guy, who owns "Car Stereo" and that he has quite a bad reputation - that he has moved his shop several times because he does terrible work and winds up having to leave the area! Do yourself a BIG favor and stay away from this place. read more

We had a Jensen 7020 stereo installed and all of our windows tinted at the same time. Our Z was completed in a timely manner and we are very satisfied.

I would give this place 0 stars if I could. I took in my car and the owner hustled me over charging for the front two windows because there was tiny amount of glue I'm saying maybe 2 high cms that were 6 inches in length and to make it worse they messed the switch on driver side window and it won't roll up automatically now and I took it back and he owner came out give me a bunch of BS saying they didn't do it: I do not recommend this shop to anyone, the owner is a crook and unhonest. read more

Had them install 2 10 inch kicker sub woofers. Straight and to the point. Very convenient. Got it done within a couple hours. No need for appointment. Plan on getting more stuff done there! read more

08/15/2016 RE: Fallbrook Car Stereo and Tinting To all at Fallbrook Car Stereo and Tinting, I read your YELP response to my posting. Apparently Yelp is the only way you will communicate. My response is as follows: What great news, what a miracle that you were able to find a cable at this late date when you told me that you had thrown it in the trash and you refused to look for it when I asked for it on the morning following the incident. My husband was extremely upset that you said he made a statement he did not make. He would be very happy to speak to anyone that would like to know the truth. He's lived in Fallbrook since 1953 and did own Whipps Company Paint and Body Shop at 620 Mission Rd for 40 years, so many in town know him. If you don't know him, his name is Gene Whipps, (760) 728-8628 or sold@patwhipps.com. He said he would be happy to clarify the facts. I tried to contact you by phone, but you wouldn't return my call. I tried to contact you by certified mail, but you refused it. Much to my regret you have given me no choice but Small Claims Court. I have not filled yet because I feel it is such a sad way to settle a problem. I have had the Sirius XM professionally repaired and now everything works great. All I am asking of you is to refund the money paid to you to repair the system that was under a one year warranty ($131.28), the money I had to pay to repair the incorrectly installed system ($120.00), and the certified mail you refused ($3.30) for a total of $254.58. I am not requesting any return of the original cost. If you refuse, I have no choice but to hire a company to file the paperwork for Small Claims Court and request you to pay for that plus the refund of $254.58 and the court costs. This of course will incur a larger sum for you to pay, but also take you away from your business. Please understand, I would NOT be corresponding with you in this medium if you would have returned my telephone call or accepted my letter. I sincerely hope we can resolve this without court and I wish you the very best. Pat Whipps read more

Went in to install a keyless entry in my truck at the Stereo Shop Main Street Fallbrook. They said no problem "easy" install. I am the customer, they are the experts. Well after they installed the product, the keyless entry they installed was not compatible with the factory theft system and would not work. I requested they take it out and give me a refund, and I 'll just go to the dealer... There was much pushback that the installer tried to get it to work. I saw them on the internet trying to figure out how to bypass the factory theft and after several tries the installer could not get the product to work, I pushed for a refund. I said this was not my fault but your product/install issue. After a LOT of pushback they finally would refund all but $25 "restocking fee". I said ok, just to get out of there and will file with the credit card company (which I did the money back). As I drove away the Air Bag light was on, I called as I drove back and they said this was not them just something with the truck and not the install. Went to the dealer and had to pay $$$ to fix the wires they messed up under the dash that was shorting the air bag connection. Prior to today, I had a similar experience with the factory radio LED go out the day they did the install of an IPOD jack in my other car. They will always blame it on the car. First time I let it slide, this second time shows that they are not skilled enough to do installations. The younger employees running the business always blame the car and not the installation or product. I gave them 3 chances and had the same poor results on the 2 previous installations from the younger installer. Both cost me extra money to fix something after the install...I've done business with them before and they were good and when the older gentleman was there (I guess the owner). When I asked where he went, they could only say he is out helping another store. I live in Fallbrook and try to patronize local businesses as much as possible. Sorry, this will not be one of them, read more

Just dont use this place.. take your money elsewhere. Nice guys cheap product that is WAY over priced. Took a nissan in to get a new deck. Long story short. It starts sparking burns up. Took it to professionals they said it was the worst wiring job they have seen. 700 bucks later after the 900 I spent. Thanks for nothing guys. read more

I just had a pioneer deck installed in my rv. I also had them do some extra modifications. All in all it was done quickly and the install was pretty clean. The service was very good. read more

I hate when people advertise by placing flyers on my window. Well I just so happened to need satellite radio repair on my system. They claimed to do repairs. Well they don't and it wasted my time with their lazy approach to service. read more

Worst worst place to shop for supposedly new stuff but they will sell you used stuff. They are the worst car stereo ever created !!! They will denied you if you go back to complaint about it oh and they will try to intimidate you with his kids ! But the worst thing they do is that they make excuses to why people complaint just to get free stuff !!! I don't want free stuff I spent 1400 on your used shits that you said where new !!! Don't go shop there and the only good reviews they have well does are his kids !!! read more

Nado&Steve are amazing and knowledgeable at what they do! I got 2 subs an amp and a converter installed. They know what they are doing and willing to help you with any questions you have about your current system and what you can do to improve it. Great pricing compared to other local shops and have everything you could need. They installed my system quickly and did it to perfection. It was worth the extra drive to have these guys install my system. I'm always going to bring my car back whenever I have upgrades to make. I highly recommend these guys for anything you need done. read more

Again, RUN, don't walk away from this place. Nado has selective memory, of course in his favor, and is a rip off. I would have no reason to write a review such as I did if it were not true. read more

This guy is all over the place. Really hasn't kept up with the industry. His techniques are old school and do t work well In The new cars. He thinks all his products are competition grade, not the case. And his prices fluctuate from the time you drop off to the time you pick up. Make sure to go over what you want done, he doesn't listen well. I wanted all the stock stuff back and he threw it all away. Because of his techniques things have stopped working that worked before the truck was dropped off to him. Be aware, he is no pro. This is a hobby for him and he really is t that good at it. I spent a lot of money for a junk system. Now going to al and eds to get something real hooked up. read more

Honest, helpful, knowledgeable, fair, and a pleasure to do business with. What more can a customer ask for? Will definitely be back.

2 awesome jobs done on my truck. Service is always excellent when I come in. Very friendly atmosphere. Work is done efficiently, quickly, and very good. Would recommend this local shop 100%. Just an honest man trying to make a living, doing the best work he can. Even stayed right up till closing and a little after to make sure the amp was installed just right. Awesome work Nado, will definitely be back in!! read more

Worst place ever do not go here. Got a camera installed here. I payed through the roof even with my whole car striped down. They took about 15 minuets to finish the job but left wires hanging around the back causing the RCA to snap. If your in the area check out nzomnia car audio. They give way better pricing and actually car about your car problems. read more

My first experience with this shop. Had a broken power antenna on my Lexus. There are 3 techs including the owner. All pitcbed in and new one installed in less than 30 minutes. Now the radio works better than ever. This is a family operation that is professional and hardworking. The store is very well stocked and I will definitely be back for any audio problems that come up in the future. Recommend highly. read more

Worst service ever. guy sells the junkiest products on the market and then doesnt replace them when they fail. My sisters stereo failed 2 times. Deck, speakers and all. Uneducated owner who thinks he knows everything. Steer clear of Old Town Car Stereo! read more

I bought a car alarm system from Fallbrook Car Stereo. I realized after about 6 months that one of the doors was not hooked up so I went back and the owner said the door latch was broken and I needed a new one. Two mechanics looked at it and said he was wrong. At first he tried to get out of fixing it as he said I did not buy a system that included that door. I had the receipt so he backed off. His installer told him that he had explained to me that it was not hooked up before I left the installation. I wouldn't have paid them if the installation was not complete. Fallbrook Car Stereo could not figure out how to hook up that door so they hookup up everything to the overhead doom light. The system only lasted 14 months and malfunctioned past the warranty by 2 months. The owner said on the phone he would repair it at my cost with free labor. My mechanic in town, Eric's Precision Auto and I determined that the system wasn't worth putting more money into it as it was not a quality brand. I did not request a cheap system and I paid for the best available at Fallbrook Car Stereo. Although Eric Precision Auto said he would remove it for free at my next oil change, I took it back to the alarm store to have them remove it. The owner wanted $50 after saying his labor would be free. I called him on it and he laughed at me as I exited his store. I would not recommend Fallbrook Car Stereo. read more
